Road Safety Barriers: Elevating Protection on Every Mile

Safety barriers prevent thousands of accidents every year from turning fatal. These crucial structures contain errant vehicles and greatly and substantively reduce the seriousness of off-road collisions. From absorbing impacts and shockwaves in an accident to catching barriers that redirect errant vehicles, Anton Solutions leads in highway safety engineering. We offer a wide range of advanced road safety barriers that are specifically designed for the protection of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. Our barriers ensure safer travel on roads, highways, and bridges because of their innovative design and reliable performance. Using advanced materials and rigorous crash testing, Anton Solutions has set the standard for road safety.

Types of Road Safety Barriers

Selection of the proper safety barrier is crucial for traffic management and accident prevention. Each barrier type is designed to meet specific road challenges for maximum protection. Understanding the unique needs of each road environment, we have been able to provide tailored solutions that go a long way in enhancing overall road safety. Anton Solutions offers three main types of highway guardrails designed to serve various environments and conditions:

Flexible Barriers: Flexible barriers, such as high-tension cable barriers, dissipate energy through deflection. They offer a cushioning effect where there is a reduction in the amount of damage imparted to the vehicle and minimal severe crashes. Such barrier types are appropriate for places where controlled deflection is permissible.

Semi-Rigid Barriers: Semi-rigid barriers strike a balance between flexibility and rigidity. Examples are the W-Beam systems, which can contain and redirect vehicles while offering some deflection. This type of barrier is appropriate for those locations where both redirection and minimum deflection are required.

Rigid Barriers: Rigid barriers, like concrete walls, provide the highest containment and redirection with minimal or no deflection. They are used in high-impact zones, such as bridges and roadways that have limited lateral space, where maximum protection is vital.

Engineering and Technical Aspects of Our Road Safety Barriers

The performance of road safety barriers is an outcome of advanced engineering combined with strategic design. Anton Solutions tests each system against rigid safety standards while addressing specific road challenges.

Crashworthiness and Testing Standards: Our barriers meet international standards like MASH and NCHRP 350. The Ezy-Guard 4 system meets MASH Test Level 3 (TL3) requirements, tested with vehicles from 1100kg to 8000kg. Extensive testing ensures our barriers withstand diverse vehicles and crash conditions.

Deflection and Energy Absorption: Ezy-Guard 4’s dynamic deflection of 1.65 meters under MASH TL3 absorbs energy, reducing rollovers. Its Z-post design bends to minimize impact, enhancing safety for vehicle occupants.

Constructed from hot-rolled steel, hot dip galvanized for durability, Ezy-Guard 4 ensures long-lasting performance. Flexible Z-posts enhance energy absorption and maintain occupant safety in harsh conditions.

Advanced Barrier Systems for Different Applications

Bridge Barriers:

These barriers protect critical bridge structures, such as piers and abutments, against high-impact collisions. Our bridge barriers are engineered to provide maximum containment while reducing the risk of vehicles entering sensitive bridge areas.

Roadside and Median Barriers

Our barriers are designed for both roadside and median installations, offering effective containment for a variety of road situations. Systems, like the Four Wire System tested to NCHRP 350 TL-4, are built to handle high-speed impacts, ensuring safety for medians and road edges.

Sand Mitigation Barriers

In areas prone to sand encroachment, like desert highways, our sand mitigation barriers help maintain road visibility and safety. These barriers are crafted to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring they stay effective over time

Top Reasons to Trust Us

Superior Crash Protection: Our barriers meet top safety standards like MASH and NCHRP 350. Designed for various vehicles and speeds, they protect drivers and passengers by containing and redirecting vehicles during collisions.
Fast Setup and Low Maintenance: Barriers like the Ezy-Guard 4 are easy to install, saving time and money. Simpler design reduces upkeep, repairs, and maintenance costs, ensuring safer roads.
Durable and Long-Lasting: Our strong steel barriers, with a special coating, resist rust and endure harsh weather and tough conditions. The Z-post design helps absorb impact, improving the barrier’s strength and overall lifespan.
Flexible for Different Roads: Our barriers work in all kinds of environments, from highways to city streets. These systems provide flexible solutions for diverse road safety needs, on rough or smooth roads.
